Hey everyone... I'm new to fishing. Got a fly rod & reel and an inflatable fish hunter boat and am wondering after my experience today on a windy lake if I need an anchor... and if so, what would be appropriate.

I was on Alice Lake and found it almost impossible to cast cuz the boat was being pushed along at about 5mph. I ended up putting on a strike indicator and rowed around the lake but I'm sure I just looked like an idiot who didn't know what he was doing.

Any advice about fly casting from an inflatable in non still conditions would be appreciated.
